I think I liked this a bit more a few years ago - this was still a very good showing, though perhaps a bit more advanced in its flavour development than I would have liked. Lots of smoky and savoury notes here, though the fruit seemed a bit lighter and less intense/electric than I remember a few years back. I'll have to check into my '07 Klaus soon.

The final bottle, unfortunately. While this bottle was more rough and ready, not to mention reticent, than my previous to last one. It took a while to unfold despite its age, but when it did it outshone the Grüner Veltliner from the same year, producer and vineyard. We were eight around the table, and the decanter with this wine was emptied while most other wines, including the Grüner, left something in their decanters.

Liquid gold. Nose shows a lot of floral notes: honeysuckle, hyacinth, orange blossom and bergamot. Dry honey, candied citrusfruit and tangerine. In the mouth it's full-bodied and mineral, contains a wonderful bitterness, deep and spicy acidity (like pickles?), orange liquour, apricotpreserve, wet wool, talcum and crushed rocks. This is big, impressive lengthy and well-balanced. Deeeeeelicious!

Rich and developed aromas with ripe citrus. After a while more floral and elegant riesling aromas. Full bodied and rich in the mouth.
